永遠の今 eternal now. continuing from yesterday … words from a different language carry your thought in what seems a newer pocket– a better basket. Much like place changing. but, you are always within a now, one very long now.

what I had first thought to say was that changing a paper should be considered as ongoing. there has never been one perfect paper. flexibility has been granted, partially, with digital. Prints aren’t endpoints, they’re pause points in the process.

My pronouncements are meant for me. Upon my reflection .

As one thing comes into view… tools changing tools means making alters the maker. As I entered scanning, printing my early films, I was given poor advice by the ready to answer crowd. Those first efforts resulted in damaged film… so it goes. Many of those were favorites. Someday I may find a way to repair — reuse them.

Beware the advice given by the early hunters of the new bird. They can’t fly either.

NB: I collect notes using a pad, often paper, backs of prints… but, write, post from a desktop. Differences in width and duration may appear as marks.

refreshing some items. Slavich sourcing is the main. I’ve written about this before.

Longing for a past product isn’t uncommon. I do it. You do too, at least if you are over 20. What would a made up word be for such a longing? How about something like:

  • **Nar-lugal** — combining “nar” (song/memory) with “lugal” (great/ancient), suggesting a reverence for what came before, OR,
  • **Edin-nar-kalam** — “edin” (plain/eternity), “nar” (song), “kalam” (land/realm). It evokes vast, timeless realms singing through history. PERHAPS,
  • nishanwu — (ni‑shan‑wu) Chinese phonology with an added archaic syllable “wu”; means longing-for-old. AND, FINALLY
  • **Zhong-Shu**: “Zhong” (中) is a Chinese character meaning “middle” or “center,” and “Shu” (書) means “writing” or “document.” Together, it could imply a preference rooted in historical documents or traditions.

slavich paper was only occasionally produced in the ‘teens of this century. Slavich, the company make holography and photo-booth supplies, with an occasional production of silver paper.

should you wish to ask the maker…perhaps try this.

I was one of the buyers of the slavich. It was touted by the netters for being great at many things.

What it did well was age … and tone.

OR, maybe it ships and arrives, and it is useable for photos: https://www.geola.com/product/black-and-white-photo-paper/
